Why not Buschini at PKs?

[tstaup]

Good punter and kickoff specialist who has demonstrated a toughness factor shown through his nose for the ball and willingness to tackle. Makes me think he's got some mental toughness too. Older guy, been there, done that. Gotta think he knows how to PK too. What do we have to lose?

Well they better see if they can get another kicker thru the portal for next year. Better not just hope the health issues clear up.

I've seen the question asked, but don't think I've seen any response with insight - where is the freshman kicker from NJ they signed.?? He can't be worse than what we've been watching, can he?

Punting is not place kicking. Kicking off is not a perfectly timed 2.3 second snap, hold and follow-through

And buschini needs to spend every free minute he has working on punting

He’s far from consistent

He seemed to be a lot better his first season here.

The kid we have kicking now will be fine if we can consistently snap and place the ball.

It hasn’t been the kicker’s issue other than maybe that hooked field goal against Illinois. Adrenaline got him IMO.

I question just how bad we can be in the kicking game in general. They better hit the portal hard and clean house in the spring. Go talk to Ferentz if you don't know what your doing.
